What do you think of this, any advice would be so apreciated.

when i put the amp dial just over half volume the red clipping LED begin to flash but does not sound all that loud, seems strange to me with a 1000 watt amp and 300 watt speakers

It depends a bit on what you want to achieve and what you consider 'not all that loud', 2x250W isn't all that much for providing sound for large audiences, but for smaller crowds you should be able to get away with it.
You could check if the output of your mixer and the input of your amp are set at the same level. You could then try to put your amp to full volume and then adjust the output level of your mixer until your amp only occasionally and briefly peaks.
You might consider adding some 15'' or even 18'' speakers for some more bottom end.
